"During the fighting in Lebanon Hezbollah received direct intelligence support from Syria, using data collected by listening posts jointly manned by Russian and Syrian crews. Hezbollah was also fed intelligence from new listening posts built on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, which are operated jointly with Iran...."

Did they catch any? No? Any evidence? No, just he said she said. What a surprise. Iranian RGs are, as I've said before, like the busload of nurses from Rheindahlen - everyone's heard the story but nobody's ever seen one.

Probably so they could understand all the Russian Immigrants fighting in the IDF ? Over 1 million immigrants from Russia since 1990, a very high proportion of them not recognised as "Jewish" by the religious authorities.

"The Russians have also reportedly invested in two Syrian ports, he added.

If they switch their Black Sea fleet there it would be their first Mediterranean base since the 1950s, said Dr Fox, who repeated his warning in a speech in the main conference hall at the Bournemouth conference centre."

I'm sure they are supporting SCIRI. In fact we know that - SCIRI was based in exile in Iran. But SCIRI is the government that we are supposed to be supporting, and its private army appears to make up the only effective Iraqi army units outside Kurdistan, despite an unfortunate tendency to drill holes in prisoners' heads. ("Iraqi Special Forces" ex-36th ING/ICDC)

If the SCIRI becomes our enemy, no doubt they will be helping them against us. But in that case, we're dicked anyway - just what coalition forces are there between southern Baghdad and the Aussies at Talil, along the MSR?

More interesting is whether they are helping the Sadr movement - Sadr himself has attacked the government for being too close to Iran, but they are Shia, so you can't rule it out entirely. There's no way the Iranians would help the Sunni insurgents against a SCIRI government.
